The door opened.
Jiang Zheng walked in and saw Jiang Yue sitting on the floor barefoot in her pajamas. His expression changed instantly.
"Yueyue, why are you sitting here? Get up quickly."
Jiang Zheng dropped what he was holding and ran over to help Jiang Yue.
The moment Jiang Yue saw Jiang Zheng, the light in her eyes vanished instantly.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?"
Where is Lu Jingnian?
Jiang Yue, supported by him, grabbed his arm and asked nervously.
"Yueyue, calm down." Jiang Zheng felt heartbroken seeing his sister like this. "Old Lu is gone. He left quietly because he was afraid you would be too sad to see him go."
Jiang Zheng helped Jiang Yue to sit on the sofa, took her shoes and put them on her, then took a thin blanket and draped it over her. After making sure she wouldn't get cold, he took out the letter left by Lu Jingnian and handed it to Jiang Yue.
"Old Lu asked me to come. He was worried that you would be sad after he left, and he was concerned about you, so he asked me to come and keep an eye on you."
Hearing Jiang Zheng's words, Jiang Yue's tears fell even harder, and the envelope in her hand became wet.
"He clearly promised me he wouldn't leave quietly."
Lu Jingnian, you big liar!
The letter was opened, revealing Lu Jingnian's vigorous and powerful handwriting, but the letter only contained two short sentences.
"When Yueyue saw this letter back then, I had already left. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you this time and left quietly again."
I'm afraid to see you sad, because then I won't be able to leave.
After reading the letter, Jiang Yue looked up, wiped away her tears, and looked at Jiang Zheng.
Jiang Zheng smiled guiltily and pointed to the letter in Jiang Yue's hand, explaining, "He left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to write much."
"Excuse."
Jiang Yue put the letter away and stopped crying.
Lu Jingnian left, and Jiang Yue's heart felt empty. She wasn't as strong as she thought. Now, holding the letter in her hand, Jiang Yue seemed to have suddenly lost interest in everything.
"Brother, I'd like to stay here for another day. I'm fine, you can go back first."
She knew she shouldn't be like this, but she really needed to regulate her emotions.
"No, please."
Seeing Jiang Yue urging him to go back, how could Jiang Zheng possibly leave with peace of mind, given her demeanor?
"How can I leave you here alone like this?"
Jiang Yue didn't say anything, and walked back to her bedroom alone.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Zheng thought for a moment and then called Duan Suyao over.
In the bedroom.
Jiang Yue lay in bed, staring at the white paint on the walls above her head. Her mind raced through countless memories of her time with Lu Jingnian since their marriage…
She wasn't crying, because she had read online that if pregnant women cried too much, it could affect the baby in their womb.
After trying to calm herself down, Jiang Yue suddenly closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep.
Now that Lu Jingnian is gone, she should take better care of herself so that Lu Jingnian can focus on his missions.
Jiang Yue thought about Lu Jingnian, and after an unknown amount of time, she drifted off to sleep again.
While she was asleep, she vaguely heard the sound of the living room door opening, followed by the sound of two people talking quietly, but the sound quickly disappeared.
When Jiang Yue woke up, it was already evening.
Duan Suyao sat on a chair by the bedroom window, and Jiang Yue met Duan Suyao's gaze as soon as she opened her eyes.
"distant?"
Jiang Yue was clearly surprised to see Duan Suyao. "Why are you here?"
Seeing that Jiang Yue was awake, Duan Suyao smiled, stood up from the chair, walked to the bedside, and touched Jiang Yue's face with a smile. "Your brother was worried about you, but it was inconvenient for him, a grown man, to stay here with you, so he called me."
"I'm sorry to have worried you."
Jiang Yue smiled sheepishly; she really hadn't expected Jiang Zheng to call Duan Suyao over.
"Why are you being so polite with me?" Duan Suyao looked at Jiang Yue's red and swollen eyes from crying and felt very sorry for her. "Your brother told me about Lao Lu's matter."
"Yueyue, don't worry, Lao Lu is a very capable man, he'll definitely come back safely."
After taking a nap, Jiang Yue's mood has calmed down considerably.
"Thank you, Yaoyao."
Jiang Yue smiled at Duan Suyao, but her eyes were swollen, making the smile look particularly forced.
Duan Suyao sighed inwardly. She could understand Jiang Yue's feelings. When Jiang Zheng went on that mission, she knew it was extremely dangerous, and she was even more worried than Jiang Yue.
With a tender hug, Duan Suyao asked Jiang Yue softly, "Yueyue, are you hungry?"
Your brother made some porridge, I'll go get it for you, why don't you eat something first?
Jiang Yue wasn't hungry, but for the sake of the baby in her belly, she had to eat even if she wasn't hungry.
"No need for that, I can just go out to eat by myself."
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, she threw off the covers and was about to get out of bed.
She was just feeling a little sad because she couldn't bear to see Lu Jingnian go on his mission. She wasn't sick or injured, so there was no need to trouble others like that.
After putting on her shoes and a long down jacket, Jiang Yue went to the living room with Duan Suyao.
The weather has been getting colder these past few days; it should be snowing soon.
In the living room.
Jiang Zheng, wearing an apron and carrying a plate of stir-fried dishes, came out of the kitchen and immediately smiled when he saw that Jiang Yue was awake.
"Yueyue, you're awake! Come see what delicious food your big brother made for you!"
"Big brother, I never knew you could cook."
Jiang Yue stared at the dishes on the table in shock, because Jiang Zheng had never cooked at home, and she had thought he couldn't cook.
When Duan Suyao heard Jiang Yue say this, she smiled and explained to her, "You don't know this, do you? When your brother first joined the army, he worked in the mess hall just like Lao Lu. Your brother's cooking skills were passed down from their old sergeant."
It's not that I'm biased towards your brother, but his cooking is better than Lao Lu's.
"Really?" Jiang Yue said, "Then I'll have to eat more later."
She first went to the restroom to wash her hands, and then came out to eat with Jiang Zheng and Duan Suyao.
Jiang Zheng's cooking skills are indeed exceptional. To be honest, Jiang Yue said that Jiang Zheng's dishes are indeed tastier than Lu Jingnian's.
Jiang Yue ate quite a lot that evening, and even drank a bowl of porridge at the end, leaving her feeling very full.
Jiang Zheng didn't think Jiang Yue ate much. He saw that Jiang Yue was chatting and laughing with Duan Suyao while eating, so he figured that Jiang Yue's mood had calmed down, and Jiang Zheng was relieved.
After dinner, Duan Suyao and Jiang Zheng accompanied Jiang Yue downstairs for a walk, where they ran into Political Commissar Yu, who was returning home.
Upon seeing Jiang Yue and the others, Political Commissar Yu walked over to them. He already knew about Lu Jingnian's departure today. After comforting Jiang Yue for a few moments, Political Commissar Yu joined their group and took a walk with them downstairs.
Since he'd be alone at home anyway, he might as well talk to Jiang Zheng downstairs.
